Again, I never again want to hear the Republicans claim the mantle of, or be referred to as, the "party of national security." This, as with threatening to invade our NATO allies, should have long ago immediately ended his presidency. It also should again now.

Trump’s DOJ Is Hiring Only the Best MAGA Wing Nuts
A future Democratic president will have to do more than rehire a competent civil service, they’ll have to cleanse the federal bureaucracy of its Trumpist stench.

People forget that J6 was successful. Everyone who participated was let out of jail and the guy who perpetrated it is President again. There were no consequences. They have plenty of incentive to do a much bigger and worse version.
